Abstract
Summary
Human Sarcoma #1 (H. S. #1), Human Epidermoid Carcinoma #3 (H. Ep. #3) and Human Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma #1 (H. Emb. Rh. #1) have been grown by serial passage on the chorioallantoic membrane of the chick embryo, and the H.S. #1 and H. Ep. #3 by serial passage in the yolk sac. Metastases of the H. Ep. #3 to the liver and kidneys of the host chick have been observed. The H. S. #1 and H. Ep. #3, when treated with a nitrogen mustard, HN2, showed the same pattern of histological injury previously described for the mouse sarcoma 180 growing in chick embryos and mice.
